Warriors’ Klay Thompson says sprained ankle at 70 percent

Yes, the 27-game winning streak is now a unique and possibly more famous thing than anything else… though I would argue it’s just part of everything else. “I’m more focused on what we’ve got going on, but they’re a great story”. The San Jose Mercury News reported on the Warrior’s team-wide Christian faith in 2013 just before the National Basketball Association playoffs, at the time only their second playoff appearance since the 1996-97 season. Thompson was a big reason why the Warriors went on a 22-0 first half run, which basically ended any chances of the Pacers halting Golden State’s 26 game winning streak. COVERS POWER RANKINGS: Warriors (-19.5) + Celtics (-8.5) + home court (-3.0) = Celtics +8.0 WHAT CAPPERS SAY: “The oddsmakers simply can not catch up with this team, who is a remarkable 12-4 ATS its L16 game despite laying at least 5.5 points in all of them”. In the 64 minutes those five have shared the floor, the Warriors have outscored opponents by an absurd 69.9 points per 100 possessions, via NBA.com. Usually, you want the big man to make the decisions.

The Warriors are scheduled to practice in Boston on Thursday, which should give the club a better idea about Thompson’s availability for Friday. In exchange, Golden State got some salary cap relief and unloaded Lee’s contract that pays him $15.5 million this season.

Bucks swingman Khris Middleton is impressed at Golden State’s relentlessness.

Vogel said Curry, more than any other player in the league, can demoralize an opposing team and change the momentum of the game by making hard shots in a blistering manner. And we’re in our second year in Coach [Steve] Kerr’s system, which he always said is when you get your bearings, not just the playcalls but the principles, the fundaments of how to get our shots, how to play up-tempo, how to defend.

The Warriors steered clear of lengthy injuries last season and a quarter of the way through this one. “I think people expected them to play well, but I don’t think anyone saw this coming”. I can’t wait to play the champs. Coach Frank Vogel, who declined to share much of his defensive strategy, said it is possible George could be assigned to Curry. Whereas they were once a team that relied on size and strength, they now prefer to go with lineups heavy on shooting and space.

Tobias Harris finished with 17 points and nine rebounds, and Elfrid Payton had 18 points for the Magic, who won for the sixth time in seven games. “If you try to take stuff away, there’s always a counter, always another way to get a shot”.

The Warriors’ fans on the road include transplants as well as recent converts who traveled from far and wide to see their favorite team. Walton has joked that if the Warriors get close to breaking the Lakers’ all-time win streak of 33 games, he won’t hesitate to use everyone as needed to get those deciding wins, but the fact is that every victory the Warriors can bank now – and they won’t all be wins through April 13 – means more opportunity for rest and recuperation as the regular season comes toward its close.
